United Family International Church (UFIC) leader Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa is promising freedom, miracles, wonders and prosperity to hundreds of thousands who will attend the church's much-awaited "Judgement Night 2" prayer session in Harare tomorrow.
The session has been dubbed "Free at Last", with organisers saying those living in bondage will be set free.
UFIC spokesperson and senior pastor Prime Kufa said miracles will be witnessed at the event.
"Free at last is free from bondage and anything hindering progress and prosperity, be it witchcraft or demons," Kufa told the Daily News.
"The man of God (Makandiwa) said people should expect to hear the word because it is through the word that miracles emanate from and wonders manifest. Wonders and signs shall be witnessed."
The prayer session, to be held at the 60 000-seater National Sports Stadium, is expected to attract more than 150 000 people, including foreigners. More space will be created for the overwhelming numbers both inside the giant stadium and at the B Arena where huge overflow tents will be erected.
Kufa said the event had turned out to be bigger than they had anticipated, and were expecting to host more people during the night prayer than the last Judgment Night held in 2012.
He said all was set for the event. Equipment such as the Public Address (PA) system and generators were already in place, though some of the apparatus will have to be fitted into place after today's independence celebrations scheduled for the same venue.
Zimbabwe is today celebrating 34 years of independence where President Robert Mugabe is expected to deliver a keynote address, followed by military displays and a soccer match pitting FC Platinum and Dynamos for the Uhuru Cup.
Kufa said they are going to need about eight hours to complete setting up equipment for the 'Judgement Night 2'.
"International guests have already started arriving, so all is well," he said. "We are going to start setting up soon after the soccer match and we will have people working through the night as well."
Makandiwa, a celebrity preacher with a huge following, announced at a recent church service that this year's Judgement Night would surpass the previous one held two years ago.
The UFIC leader said this would be a ground-breaking session which he believes would bring in new developments in a country battered by acute economic difficulties.
Last year, Judgement Night was cancelled at the last minute after administrators of the venue scuttled Makandiwa's plans by making too many demands which the church could not meet.
Thousands of worshipers from UFIC clad in Judgement Night regalia from head to toe on Sunday marched in Harare promoting the event.
The prayer session has been advertised at movie theatres, on cars, on billboards and everywhere else where there is space.
Government through the Minister of Tourism, Walter Mzembi has already endorsed the huge event.
